Academic integrity
Do not cheat! Cheating does not help you learn, but it does something to your character. Simply put, academic integrity is just about respect: you respect yourself by submitting only your own work; you respect others by acknowledging their contributions. Students agree that by taking this course all submitted assignments may be subject to similarity reviews using a plagiarism detection software (for example, MOSS). The Department of Computer Science faculty take violations of the Cornell University Code of Academic Integrity seriously. You must follow the Cornell University Code of Academic Integrity. The CS1112 Code of Academic Integrity includes specific remarks that you should follow. Ignorance of the code is not an acceptable excuse.
